Farquier CO. was never part of Kentucky but I put that on a list other day. Here is rerun of what book says.. "Kentucky was part of Virginia until 1776. Prior to this time, 1 Dec 1772 to 31 Dec 1776 the area was Fincastle Co. VA."  "The three original counties of Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln were formed in 1780.  Together they encompassed all of current day Kentucky." aken from Kentucky Ancestry by Roseanne Hogan. This book explains much of the changes and  developments. Kentucky became a state in 1792 having 6  additional counties now.  Along with the original three above there was Nelson, Woodford, Mason, Madison, Bourbon and Mercer.  I am not sure how much I can quote legally but the next paragraph describes the boundaries better for Lincoln  which covered most of the sourthern part of the state. excepting what is  was taken for Madison Co. Jefferson  was reduced by the creation of Nelson Co.  Together with what today called the Jackson Purchase (  Chickasaw Indian Hunting Grounds) it made up all the counties. All other counties sprung from with in these counties.  Boundaries moved tremendously for some and minimal for others.  The last boundary change was in 1912. 120 counties were created the last was McCreary Co. Fayettes area was split to form Mason, Bourbon and Woodford.  It is also suggested you acquire or read Willaim Dollarhides Census Maps of Kentucky and Rones Historical Atlas of Kentucky and her counties  Rone  1965.. I have not seen this second one but have used the first one. Mason  Co. was formed from Bourbon Co. and 19 counties have been formed from Mason Co. . That ought to give you clue as to where to hunt.  :>) Hope this helps some out there. SusiCP@aol.com

If this is in reference to my query if land in Mason Co KY was given to French & Indian soldiers from Fauquier Co VA, then there was a misunderstanding I have noticed that many families from Fauquier Co VA ended up in late 1780-1800 in Mason Co KY. My own did... William White Sr had 5 married children remove from Fauquier Co to Mason Co KY in late 1780-1790's. William White and 69 other men were listed on Capt. William Edmonds Virginia Troops in 1761 out of Fauquier Co VA. Then I saw some place something about Ohio Territory and wondered if Mason Co KY was part of that area early on. I have since learned , and been told by many, that the answer to that question is NO. .·:*¨¨*:·.~* Ginny *~.·:*¨¨*:·.
